1st (5)  (6/1 -20%)Dunbar |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Dunbar 6/1, Remains a maiden after 19 runs but has made the frame from higher marks and may prove at his best when forcing the pace over this minimum trip. Interesting on return from 10-month absence. | |||
2nd (1)  (8/1 -33%)Heronord |
8/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Heronord 8/1, Late jumping errors cost him victory on first 2 starts over fences and he's not been at his best since, stopping quickly at Ludlow last time. Likely best watched at present. | |||
3rd (6)  (2.25/1 +50%)Isle Of Aron |
2.25/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Isle Of Aron 2.25/1, In decent heart over hurdles recently, runner-up to an unexposed sort at Chepstow (19.4f) 15 days ago. Drop back to the minimum trip for chasing debut doesn't look an obvious positive, though. | |||
4th (3)  (5/1 -25%)Trumps Benefit |
5/1(-25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Trumps Benefit 5/1, Consistent type who shaped as if in fair heart after a 6-month break when third at Chepstow last time, keeping on again late. Should be sharper here and should go close despite yard's quiet spell. | |||
5th (4)  (2.25/1 -29%)Time Leader |
2.25/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Time Leader 2.25/1, Hurdles winner for Tim Reed earlier this season and shaped well when third over C&D on stable debut, despite looking unsuited by emphasis on speed. Likely to progress further as a chaser. | |||
|F| (2)  (16/1 -14%)Shake Him Up |
16/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shake Him Up 16/1, Ex-Emmet Mullins inmate who has failed to complete on both starts over fences so far. Doesn't look well-treated even on the pick of his hurdles form. |

6.5/1(-30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Voodoo Doll 6.5/1, Hit-and-miss profile but produced a respectable effort when second here (16f) 25 days ago. Not certain to be in same form again and is generally a hard type to win with. |

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
